Beginning fall 2008, the Youth Ministry of St. Barnabas parish is entering into a renewal and expansion phase. While opportunities for our youth expand and grow, three foundations of our program will remain the same.

First, St. Barnabas Parish remains dedicated to serving and ministering its adolescent youth; recognizing their special needs and the valuable contributions they make to our parish family and parish life.

Second, St. Barnabas Youth Ministry will follow the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops guidelines for parish youth ministry:

• To EMPOWER our young people to live as disciples in our world today
• To draw them into responsible PARTICIPATION in the life, mission and work of our Catholic community and beyond
• To foster total PERSONAL & SPIRITUAL GROWTH of the St. Barnabas adolescent community
